End this year on a happy note...

Although we were looking forward to end this year on a happy note, it would seem that this is not to be after all.

For the first time in our history, we have had to announce the dismissal of a rep. for dishonesty. We have seen such announcements being made by other publishers on different occasions in the past, but we could not imagine or understand why until now.

While in Britain they are talking of companies going out of business at the rate of 1000 per week and rates of interest going up with subsequent unemployment, in other parts of Europe the picture does not seem any rosier.

Is this right or is this the next item on the agenda of those who thrive on the spread of bad news, while creating panic? One thing is certain, the Costa del Sol needs not be affected the same way, it should continue without major hiccups and start showing renewed optimism in the New Year, the same as always.

As many others before and after me, I decided to come to the Costa del Sol to get away from "all that" and it would be a lot healthier if those who bring here their bad habits and bad news refrain from so doing and join us or get back where they came from, after all this is Spain, with its own language, traditions and customs.
